I have been watching for many years, but just made an account. Thanks for the awesome videos over the years!
ok
R.I.P. George Floyd
I agree with the BLM idea, I just don't like the social justice movement.
Do you think removing police and hiring of social workers will help those neighborhoods who struggle with crime and drug abuse ?
Thank you for the subtitles!
I'm impressed by his ability to express such complex ideas so easily for people with no background in the subject.
Multiple times more fentantanyl than what is considered lethal.
@@senselessnothing why are you spamming this? Gtfo
@ip2p p You are simple minded if you think that pharmaco- kinetics and dynamics are not complex subjects, sorry. Prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect right here.
@@senselessnothing I guess he didn't explain it simply enough for you to understand.
@@senselessnothing Nope. Not multiple times more. It was around average. LD50 means that 50 percent of people would die from that dosage, and he was a large, physically fit man. Doesn't change the near 9 minutes of a knee on his windpipe. How much more evidence does it take for someone like you?
I'm going to fact check this, give me 12 years of medical school and several years of residency and research. I'll get back to you.

In my addiction I was abusing fentanyl. I got really scared one night because I couldn't get a deep breath. I should have gone to the hospital but I didn't because I didn't want to get in trouble. After that day I decided that I needed to get help before I did accidentally kill myself. I have now been clean with the help of suboxone for almost 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made.
Congratulations
@@julieoelker1865 Thank you!!
I'm so proud of you, keep it up and don't give up
@@kayla-hn8zr Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
@mak 10 What do you consider "clean clean"? If you are referring to the suboxone I plan on getting off of it soon. I do know that I can't just stop taking it. It has to be done slowly and I've already gone from taking the 8-2 twice a day to the 4-1 twice a day and I'm still doing well. Of course I have my bad days when I wish I had an opiate of some sort so that does worry me a little coming off the suboxone. I have had a lot of therapy in the past 3 years to deal with the reasons I was an addict in the first place so I think my chances for success are very good.
Whether he is black or white, if the handcuffed prisoner you have under your knee tells you "I can't breathe", you must raise your leg.
He's still a human.
You have 3 other people in case he somehow gets on his feet again and start fighting.
Whether he is a criminal or not, he's still a human.
Whether he is drugged or not, you don't kill anyone except for defence.
Or oil
I’m sure quite a few people who are getting arrested say stuff like that 🤷♀️ Better to just not put them in a position where you could kill them in the first place.
I agree but do you know how many fucking times suspects say they can't breathe just to get the officers away from them?
Floyd was handcuffed. He wasn't a threat. The officers were badly trained, irresponsible and absolutely idiotic!
Hi that’s why you adjust your hold instead of backing 20 feet away or whatever you seem to think cops would do if they respected someone’s life.
This is the kind of straightforward, factual information we need. If/when he has an opinion, he makes it clear. Thank you for posting this and being so thorough.
Yes I agree, and he's not being biased.
It smacks
I completely agree, the video is fantastic.
YOU'RE BLIND IF YOU THINK HE ISN'T SHOWING BIAS.
But he missed in some things like how he actually was drunk and was in drugs
I'm a respiratory therapist. Never in any text book, in any classroom discussion, any clinical setting with any doctor or other therapist has the notion of increased chest wall rigidity from the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor effect of fentanyl came up. I'm in a specialist position and I had absolutely no idea that this was out there. Thank you so much.
EILI5?
@@Jackson-tb1jy That area is probably made stronger by fetanyl, which prevents the signal hormone norepinephrine from getting there. Not a doctor or even a medical student, just guessing what they means. I think the point was that you have to be current with the medical literature, and that you can't expect you'll learn about that in school.
@@alext3811 I get their point. I was curious about the medical stuff
@@Jackson-tb1jy My bad, didn't realize that.
I agree with you in saying "the toxicology report doesn't absolve the officers", but I'd state that Floyd's actions absolve the officers. If you watch the full video, you can see them tell him to get out of his car and show his hands. He doesn't get out and he actually reaches back into his car. I'm surprised in America they didn't consider that as somebody trying to get a weapon and just shoot him. You hear the lady in his car even tell him repeatedly "stop resisting" and "just go with them" and stuff like that. If you resist arrest, you're going to get hurt (and in some tragic cases, you may actually die as a result of it, like this one). Don't resist arrest.
Or even better, don't rob a pregnant lady and then steal from a store in the first place and cops won't need to arrest you.
A man hands a $20 dollar bill to a cashier. This is how society collapsed.

@Chuck Norris yeah but a man died, so what's your point?
@Chuck Norris I might have read that wrong but if you didn't know the $20 bill was in fact real.
Nah george floyd could have avoided this all but he resisted arrest watch the full video its on yt
I appreciate the lack of backing music on this one. No dramatization, just your analysis. Great video as always! I definitely learned a few things from this one.
Background music is still absolutely necessary in normal videos
@@Akotski-ys9rr if "normal videos" mean not necessarily neutral, I agree :)
Touthenkube by “normal”, I mean almost every other video he’s posted
Normal video= When he is talking about “J. T.” Right?
I prefer if he played some hiphop or r&b in the background of this video but whatever. Missed opportunity I guess.
I know it’s not the subject of this video, but it makes me really happy/proud that he introduces his video as Dr. Bernard now!!! That’s an amazing achievement! Congrats!
Wait he wasn't a doctor before
@@ifthatthenthis3797 pretty sure he was a med student
Lol so I did A LOT of digging and he got his Doctor of Pharmacology over four years ago, so he’s been a doctor for quite some time. It seems like he started this channel after he finished, which makes sense.
I don’t know any med students who have enough time to make long youtube videos at least once a month. (I guess this could be loosely called “studying” but like...video editing and filming and stuff is super tedious so 90% of the work would not be the studying part.) I don’t know how PharmD programs work though, but I would expect it would be at least at the level of a PhD in terms of amount of work (and tbh becoming a full fledged doctor (med school + residency, possibly also fellowship) is more work than PhD), getting near to the end of your dissertation, you’re probably not doing much else if you’re focused (and he seems Very focused).
I suspect he gave his credentials at the beginning of the video to lend some authority to what he had to say, since this video is likely to attract people not familiar with his channel, and George Floyd is unfortunately a controversial subject.
I think it's because he mainly states that he is telling us all this from a complete professional point of view. Since this is kind of a sensitive topic.
Over here in the Netherlands, the title of "dr." is reserved for people who complete a PhD. Medical doctors are therefore not allowed to use the title of dr., as that would insinuate they have achieved such grade on the university. No idea if that's also the case in the U.S.. So it might be that he recently completed his PhD. Or perhaps he simply mentions it for new viewers.
My favorite part about your videos is the fact that you break down the doctor jargon to very basic terms. I'll never forget that -emia is presence in blood. Well done on this video, too.
I have that phrase in ind every once in awhile, out of the blue... but my favorite part is his sincere: "... and be well".

Key message: Look at the patient when you are interpreting a lab report
yea but also you just need to look at the part of the report that says cause of death homicide lol god why is this even a debate
@@typoded the whole problem at hand is that homicide can either lead to manslaughter or murder charges. Now that the cop has been upgraded to murder 2nd they have to prove a lot more to convict him in court. They'll have to prove some how that the drugs in floyd's system couldn't be responsible for his death and that the cop was planning to murder floyd and this wasn't a spur of the moment thing. If they had kept the charges as manslaughter even if they proved that the drugs were 100% the cause of death the cop would still be guilty for not giving floyd proper medical treatment in time. It's because of the upgraded charge on the cop that this has become a debate.
@@typoded and he died because he had used fentanyl, if he didn't do drugs he would be alive to today.
@@alexstromberg7696 He died because he was executed by the police. You gonna blame smoking cigarettes too? If he didn't buy cigarettes there, he wouldn't have died. How about driving? He drove there before he died.
@@alexstromberg7696 After watching this video, how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Random cashier: "Hmmm this bill looks kinda fake"

The sad part was that it wasn’t even fake :/
Yikes
It's crazy to think about the sequence of events that led to where we are now.
@@universaleliteinc.6554 are you sure of this. I read reports of ink on the bill being wet.
The Internet of Money a huh sure
The basic thing is : if I fight someone drunk, I punch him. He falls and die from the fall... I still killed him. Without my intervention he would have lived. He may have died later from.other reasons, but ultimately, I was the cause. My punch caused the death. It's the same in this case. No matter how you look at it. If the police officer would have removed his weight from the neck and chest, George would have lived. Maybe died from overdose later, who knows. But what was the cause of the death was the direct interaction with the police
Or if the other person wasn't s fu king drunk moron picking fights
Ethan Wright you need help bro what that cop did was wrong no questions asked. The move he used shouldn’t have been used for more than a minute or so according to experts in the art. No cop should be kneeling on someone’s neck for nearly 9 minutes e v e r. There was no threat. he was unarmed, he wasn’t violent, yes he was resisting arrest but that’s something that a police officer should be trained to deal with. reacting that way just shows a lack of skill and incompetence and that shouldn’t be the case in the police departments that are here to ‘protect’ us. Please check yourself, your ignorance is showing.
@@ethanwright752 did you not watch the video?
@@lemonadaaa and he dealt with the resisting drugged thug accordingly, neck restraints are not illegal and floyd was a tall buff guy resisting arrest xD so he was posing a threat in a regular restraint.
@@ethanwright752 Did you even watch the video or did you go straight to the comment section? He was able to follow basic commands, speak, and he was aware of his surroundings. If he were being affected by drugs, he wouldn't be able to do these things. Although the drugs were probably a contributing factor in his death, the cop that kneeled on his neck and back was most likely played a large part in his death.
Another thing to keep in mind is that tolerance builds very quickly with opioids. A "lethal dose" for an opioid naive person can be drastically different from someone with a long-standing daily habit. "Treat the patient, not the chart."
Exsactly esspically with fentnyl, herion you still get high even after months of use , with fent once you get a tolerance it doesn't do shit that's why I got sober in the first place because I was having to do it every few hours and it wasn't even fuckin doing anything I could do a gram of only fent and not get high at the peak of my addiction, and I was buying the shit that my dealer used to cut his herion with which is now shit Bec of tolerance but also fentanyl is more profitable so he just got very low quality h and threw the shit in thier
Go watch the video with the police body cam and you’ll see how high Floyd was. But yes the body begins to build a resistance to opioids requiring increase intake to have the same effect. However fentanyl in the smallest dosages have caused death and Floyd had fentanyl in his system . His cardiopulmonary status was already compromised due to use of opioids, atherosclerosis, Covid and age .
Doesn’t matter. He still had a dosage enough to kill him and he was reacting exactly as one would when dying of drugs.
@@zzodysseuszz *literal doctor explaining how it didn't look like he was overdosing on drugs in the video* wannabe youtube star: he clearly overdosed and died because of it.
Same thing with drinking. My uncle was drinking a whole ass bottle a day (the big ones not the small ones) and some how not getting liver poisoning. Most people would be dead, I'm just thankful he's still alive.

If any white racist moron didnt get what chubbyemu said, hes basically saying that despite being on drugs, that he did NOT die due to overdose. he was murdered by choking
I remember when i first found this channel, it was so small and i saw it as "Doctor creates youtube channel for hobby"
I always knew he would do really well making genuine and technically original content, now here he is sharing critically needed factual information on a topic so many people are losing there heads, and freedom over.
On his free time, a literal Samaritan.
Its more then just a youtube channel, its more then just one man's hobby, everything said was more then needed to be said, i am grateful to of even discovered this individual in the first place.
Thank you for sharing once again Dr Bernard, you are in my opinion the future of medical personnel, from everything from sharing this info along with a professionally educated opinion, to your career as a doctor, utilizing youtube as a form of communication, its brilliant, keep up the good work, and know that some of us see you as a pioneer in the field of medical practice.
Nicely stated!
Yea he blew up crazy fast, didn't he? Well deserved, I agree.
Amen
I Just remember following a slightly obese dude, who educated us along the way, while he kept losing weight while pumping iron, and suddenly there were alot of doctor ish videos.
well put.
Need to account for opiate tolerance. I’ve taken doses that would kill an opiate naive person.
If he was able to vocalize his symptoms of lack of air he was not overdosing.
Well if you can clearly say that you cannot breathe, then you can fucking breathe.
@@EyeOfJanuary no ❤
@@EyeOfJanuary Care to ask him now?
Well, plus I don't think its right to assume that he was doing these drugs illegally like a lot of people are assuming. Daily Desoxyn and a Fentanyl patch would basically account for the dosing in his blood. He could have an illness or chronic pain that required that medication. It's even more worrying when you rewatch the video and the police officer told the onlookers don't do drugs. Sadly a lot of officers do not understand how to properly deal with individuals who have to take medication like that legally and in some cases treat them as if they are a drug addict.
@@Commodore4eva ok, what about the meth? Got a perscription from doctor White?
Wouldn’t we also need to know how frequently he typically uses fentanyl? I hear people can really become accustomed to the effects of opioids and tolerate doses that would be dangerous for novice users
Yep, absolutely correct. A dose for a regular user might be 2 to 4 times more than what would kill you or I. Tolerance is interesting like that. Its just even more reason that the fent wasn't what killed Floyd.
Yes, I was hit by a car and my doctor put me on fentanyl and I quickly built up a tolerance, I mean a huge tolerance to the point I decided no matter how much I took it did nothing and that would be a problem when I need surgery so I stopped taking it.
No; you look at the patient not some generalised data. He was alert, awake and showing effects no effects of fentanyl overdose, i.e. No iron chest a d the fentanyl had not been fully processed by his body. Go to school.
@@BigHenFor yeah I meant in addition to everything you mentioned, the individual’s level of tolerance would also be relevant. A more experienced user could have a much higher amount in their blood without overdosing. So if George was a more experienced user, then the blood levels would look even less significant than they already do from just observing his behavior. Clearly he didn’t die from an overdose. And I wish our country would stop moralizing opioid use, there’s nothing morally wrong with using opioids for pain (physical or emotional).
@@MrNecryptic 90% of the time? Do you have a source for that or is that just your perception of drug users? And what lifestyle exactly?
I thought it was more like 90% of the users of any drug are functioning adults in our society who are not addicted to them. That’s been my experience, most people using drugs have a lifestyle indistinguishable from any other citizen.
Those folks who do have problems with drug abuse also rarely lead “reprehensible” lives, troubled sure but it’s not as if all addicts start committing violent crimes
This is one of the reasons that I love this channel: the unbiased breakdown of facts & the in-depth explanations. Very much appreciated!!
@B Almost uncomfortable, I mean I've almost forgotten what to do when confronted with a breakdown of facts that has a minimal bias.
@@scurvofpcp maybe you've been watching a lot of news and media channels recently lol 😂
@@manan-543 I mod a couple game servers. Seriously I've tried looking up some of that shit that people talk about in them and 99% of the time I find nothing.
Hey that's what science is about. Science shouldn't be for one side but for all baby.
If anything, the one thing I can't comprehend is why would Floyd remain in the area after being confronted about the fake bill? That to me seems weird. It's not as is he gave the 20 and they said it was fake there and they called the cops. Instead he gave the money, got his cigs, then the employee demanded the cigs back. . . in all honesty I feel the store should be held accountable to for confronting the potential criminal in the situation since it seems like basic common sense for an employee to not engage with a potential criminal. Like Jesus Christ, the dumb employee risked his life over 20 dollars, that's just stupid.
If it's fake is fake, call the cops, give a report and go about your day, but why instigate/escalate it so swiftly like this?
"...and that brings us to the courtroom, where we are now."
Do they have any cereal?
Sounds more like "LeagleEagles" to me
lmaoo
Sudden Chubbyemu and Legal Eagle crossover.
You sir, are a genius!
13:25 One minor thing: you mentioned that there was no indication that Floyd was suffocating before being put on the ground, however, from the bodycam footage it appears that he is complaining about inability to breathe while still being in the squad car and not yet on the ground. That seems like it conflicts with your analysis a bit.
That is the one problem I see with this video, too. On the other hand, it doesn’t really affect the conclusion that it is unlikely that the drugs alone caused his death. At most, you could argue that they impares his breathing. That would be absolutely exasperated by the way he was restrained.
@@Evangeliman well, doesn't it really though? Isn't the conclusion based precisely on the faulty assumption that there were no signs of breathing trouble before the restraint? The toxicology results seem to indicate that he did have a potentially lethal dose in his system.
And just to make things clear : I'm absolutely not justifying the use of the restraint in any way, but i do believe that the question whether Chauvin really caused Floyd's death is open and completely valid
He’s talking fine while saying it. Probably just a behavior to make it intentionally make things difficult for the cops
@@joeporter4920 Repeatedly yelling "I can't breathe" are not the actions of someone who is unable to breathe. Former wrestler, and I've said it the entire time: that pin does not suffocate a person. On top of that, how else do people expect a cop to handle a large and potentially dangerous man.
@@davidb8539
Literally every other medical professional will tell you the opposite. Speaking is exhaling, breathing is inhaling. You also say that pin does not suffocate a person but that COMPLETELY depends on multiple different factors to include their health and how hard they are pressing on them. FYI, they actually BRUISED him just so you get an idea of just how hard he was pressing down on his body. Also lets see you sit in that position for 8-10 mins and see how well you feel.
It's kind of hard to believe that an officer doesn't know choking someone for 8 minutes might kill someone. Maybe he didn't _want_ to murder him, but it looks like he didn't really care if that did happen.
That is second degree murder, what you just described. And that’s what Chauvin is being charged with
They aren’t trained properly in how to use choke holds. That’s a big part of the issue.
@@gxtmfa he didn't need to choke hold him. He down with hand cuffs.
When a pulse was not found and he still didn't get off of him? You don't need training to know to get the fuck off of an unresponsive person and try to apply CPR
Maybe because the agents don't want to put their lives in danger by getting infected by a drug-crazed thug. He did resist getting in the cop car as said in the video.

@@robsor85 he asked to be put on the ground not choked
@@sliverspoon195 You know what. I never watched the choking video. I just said. Justice will take its course. No need for anyone to carry on like they were/are doing. If the cops are bad they will face consequences. Then I watched the body cam footage. Then I went to see the "choking" part. The one that started it all.
How the F do you choke someone with a knee to the back of the neck? Air goes down the front! You can see him lifting his head. Twisting his body! How does he talk and talk and talk and talk while being "choked"? I can stop myself from talking with two fingers to the throat. These officers were trained to restrain perps with a knee. This is to keep their hands open and its effective. A small cop can keep a big guy firmly in place with one knee. Now Im sure its not fun....but he got himself in that position. If he hadn't talked so much shit and been so erratic and acted a fool by getting out of a perfectly good car seat to lay on the ground he would have lived...or died without anyone nearby. Or had been rushed to hospital. You watch the body cam video and you could loose count of the choices he made that lead to his death. Including taking a lethal load of drugs. Getting into a car with passengers to go for a drive. Every time he resisted.
If you take so many drugs you cannot get out one coherent sentence to save your own life.
"I sorry officer. I took drugs and I'm not feeling good"
"I took drugs and I can't breath"
If you cant sit still for two seconds to put cops at ease that you aren't planning to attack them while the cops put the gun away (which was never pointed anywhere near his face) within a minute.
They weren't preventing breath from entering his body. The only thing preventing his chest from inflating was his own body weight and the chemicals in his system. And the shit coming out of his mouth.
Everyone only assumes he chocked because he died but it just does not mesh. Cops likely thought he was finally calming down or falling asleep or passing out when he slowly...slowly... stopped talking. Honestly...how do you get so many words out when you are busy dying while being choked. Get real
Edit : Typos and edit: When I heard he was choked I assumed he had been lying on his back with a knee to his throat. Not on his stomach. Honestly this is so full of BS I cant believe it.
This guy caused a perfect alignment of shit to go wrong for himself and the officers that had the unfortunate job of dealing with his personal disaster in the making. That's how tragedies go I suppose
@@sliverspoon195 Have you ever hyperventilated? Talk much? If memory serves me you kinda give up talking to focus on breathing.

I think the last point is very important.
In the context of police behavior, it doesn't matter what ultimately killed Floyd. Restricting chest expansion and hindering both breathing and circulation at the neck increases the chance of death in any individual
Well, I’d say it does matter when it’s the difference between a charge of police misconduct and murder.

You cannot assist someone in committing suicide, I don't see why this would not be judged along the same lines. If someone fell off a cliff or building and was bleeding out on the pavement. Taking out a knife and cutting them up would obviously, lead to the same result.
It's egregious police misconduct that resulted in his death. You can dress this turd up any way you want to but their actions created this entire scenario. Maybe we're not having this conversation if Chauvin doesn't kneel on him while he's laying face down on his chest. But he did, and Floyd died in that same position.

Except this isn't a civil suit, and when those factors are of your own choosing, the eggshell skull doesn't hold up. He chose to resist, he chose to break the law, he chose to take drugs. From a legal standpoint, he was in that situation of his own volition.
Bob, you are expecting the cops to be omniscient. They couldn't have known that the giant hulking guy was so fragile, that restraining him would kill him stone dead in under 9 minutes.

You JUST saw an actual doctor explain to you why it wasn’t the drugs that killed him.
“A lethal dose is 2mg” lmao you’ve gotta be kidding me. Did you even watch the video? There is no single “lethal dose” that applies to everyone; there are so many variables that can change that amount drastically. He brought up some like body weight and fat %, and there are even more that he didn’t mention, like tolerance from previous use. It’s pretty unlikely that it was his first time having fentanyl, and the known variables like how big of a guy he was all point to him probably needing a higher dose than 2mg to kill him. Likely much higher, as in, higher than the amount that was actually found in his system.

AesculapiusPiranha antagonising? It was just a counterfeit bill - he probably didn’t even know that’s what it was. And he was a symptomatic for coronavirus so how was he to know that he had it? Governments have not been mass testing as they’ve only tested people who show symptoms. Yes he was on drugs, however that doesn’t justify what was done to him.
@@AS-bb7ey Again, if this happened to a white guy it would be a Florida Man story. He was wacked out on meth to the point the disturbance complaint noted thay he was "drunk" and not in control of himself.

Also, you don't know how symptomatic he was nor did he I'm sure. That is the thing with tweakers, they are not rational, nor can a rational person listen to the things they say and take them at face value. If he were white, nobody would feel sorry for him.

One thing that he should have explained here is that "homicide" as a cause of death does not mean he was murdered. There are only 3 options to use between accidental, natural, and homicide.

@@Ballox yes thats right. My bad.
@@Ballox I want to make it clear here though. Because it seems like nowadays people think that if you defend any kind of misinformation about one thing, that it means that you must not agree with the ENTIRE argument or some shit.
I 100% agree that the officer needs to be charged and should go to jail. From what I have seen 99% of people believe this. The next question is, on what charge? One thing that people need to understand, is that upgrading a charge to one that has a higher penalty, doesnt mean that the prosecutor is taking the case any more seriously, The same goes vice versa. If the prosecutor were to downgrade charges, it doesnt mean that he is taking it LESS seriously. Charges have to fit the crime, and upgrading or downgrading charges based on public outcry is a fools errand and is not equal justice under law.
Now, there is a decent chance that the officer gets off on 2nd degree murder. The reason being, the prosecutor has to prove that the cop had INTENT to kill Floyd. This is going to be VERY hard to prove. This LOOKS much more like the officer showed malicious disregard for Floyds life, which is 3rd degree murder.
Also, the cops being charged with "aiding and abetting", this will ALSO be VERY hard to prove. The cops simply standing around and not doing anything to stop the main cop doesnt constitute "aiding and abetting" under Minnesota law. Aiding and abetting is more a case where the cops knew about a crime and had intent to aid in the crime itself.
None of this is to suggest that the cops should be let free, quite the opposite. Because if they overcharge and the cops are acquitted, thats going to be very bad.
Same thing happened with George Zimmerman. The prosecutor saw all of the public outcry and wanted to charge with the highest possible penalty, without really caring too much about whether or not they could actually convict ON that charge. They failed to convict and now GZ is free.
We will see here in about a year or so i suppose.
@@undeadarmy19 to some, it's considered "murder", because chauvin had malicious intent. but i think many of us have the good sense to not push for the highest charge, because there is nothing really that can be used to prove premeditation, it was a decision made on the spot to possibly kill george. i know that when people were more worked up, everyone was bent on chauvin getting convicted of 1st degree, but the more level-headed folks on social media pointed out that it would be a failed conviction, which could complicate the matter at hand: prosecution.
cheryl The only sketchy thing is that they worked security at the same club for well over 10 years... They definitely must’ve known each other, if not have known *of* each other because this killer cop had a history of being a dick.

I have been in recovery for over 20 years and he most likely had a very high tolerance to opiates because of being a regular user. If someone who does not have a habit, say someone who just got out of jail and uses the same amount that was found in George Floyd's system, they would most likely overdose. I've seen this happen with many users , including my husband and father of my 3 children who died of a heroine/cocaine overdose shortly after serving 9 months for driving on a revoked license in 2001.
In the late 70s we had a habitual "legal" morphine addict at our hospital. He'd come in for various "pain" and get his morphine injections every 4 hours for a weekend or so. This occurred regularly because his doc was an idiot. The man came in finally for some actual REAL problem and had to have back surgery. We had to put him at the end of the hall away from the nurses station and close his door. (Yes, he was checked on regularly!) There was not a legal amount of any pain med we could give him that would last for more than a few minutes of pain relief. He was on multiple medications to attempt pain relief, but nothing really worked much or for long; so he screamed until he'd pass out from the pain. or until he was so hoarse he couldn't scream. His tolerance was so high from repeated "legal" abuse, nothing would help his pain when he truly needed it.
Yeah but. With all the time and what was done its clear that thats not it. If they stopped an alcoholic driving with so much in his blood that i would drop dead then kill him, and he didnt happen to down his last bottle 10min beforehand, there's no way to blame the alcohol for it. Might make him more sensitive sure. But they thought he was drunk. What they did for what he is accused of doing was excessive anyway. He said he cant breathe. Some i dont care - ish comments by chauvin. And the time. For no reason.

I'm a bit confused here. I'm not absolving the officers and think that they definitely could have handled the situation better. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if the cause of death actually was a fentanyl overdose. In the video of his arrest and unfortunate death, he said he couldn't breathe before being put on the ground. He was also going limp at times and 15 minutes into the video he said he was going to puke. These are all symptoms of fentanyl overdose.
I'm mainly confused about your analysis of this because it seems like you didn't consider that he could have taken a pill containing fentanyl while in the car before the officers went across the street. It can take upwards of 30 minutes after ingestion to actually overdose in pill form and he was in his car 20 minutes before he fully went limp. I think he actually did overdose but I guess we'll never know for certain...
He was known to have an opioid addiction. The level of fentanyl in his blood, while it would kill a normal person, an addict may be fine, just walking around like nothing. Bodies adapt.
As someone who has been given an overdose of fentynl and hydromorphone in hospital after a surgery, I know what that feels like. I stopped breathing after I passed out. It was put in my IV, I texted my husband, and then it hit. Couldn't even vocalize let alone move, and it was only a couple minutes later I wasn't breathing. That is what Dr. Bernard is describing with chin to chest.
my bro is beyond. chin to chest often. during mid convo.
Your personal experience doesn’t trump a professional medical doctors assessment. You’re just some random.
"Couldn't even vocalize let alone move"
So you definitely wouldn't have been able to shout "I cant breathe" dozens of times, loud enough for multiple witnesses to hear then?
Strange that eh? When you actually can't breathe, you can't talk either. Was that the performed miracle that earned old George his sainthood?
@@KSWA21 Doctors are not God and are not infallible you know.Your appeal to credentials fallacy makes your argument null and void. I have known and met many Doctors who are arrogant, ideologically driven assholes.
Okay, the point I was trying to make is that it didn't appear in the video that he was dying of an overdose, being as lucid as he was. I was adding anecdotal experience with a point Dr. Bernard made. Perhaps that wasn't clear. As for the overdose I experienced, it was a simple error when I was transfered. They were trying to help me, not hurt me, as I was in tremendous pain. I definitely do not pretend to understand everything that has happened in this case, or however irrelevant to the toxicology report, the character of Mr. Floyd.
The summary of the preliminary autopsy specifically ruled out "strangulation" and "traumatic asphyxia". That seemed incomplete to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but "traumatic asphyxia" usually involves a substantial blunt impact that can immediately damage pulmonary blood vessels, right? Positional asphyxia isn't necessarily ruled out when "traumatic asphyxia" is ruled out, right?
.
It's like the public was asking, "Did he die from officers inhibiting his ability to breathe?" and the report says, "He wasn't hit by a bus."
The report says cardiopulmonary arrest. One can argue thats what any person dies from. From the video i would suppose he was strangulated, from blockage of the carotid arteries, as the knee was on the side of his neck. But autopsie reports are more of a patophysiological diagnosis, than a medical diagnosis, at least in my country
So no, it probably was not asphyxia, it was strangulation
It also definitely did not help that people interpreted cardiac arrest as "heart attack". I've met several people who believed he died of spontaneous heart attack from fentanyl overdose.
@@RunItsTheCat cardiopulmonary arrest just means that your heart stops beating and you stop breathing. As i said before, one could argue thats what we all die from
LONE WOLF who did not watch the full footage? Was it chubbyemu or one of the commenters?
If George was used to taking Fentanyl, and had developed a tolerance, would a "fatal level" of 11 ng/mL, like in the toxicology report graphic, NOT be fatal to George? As opposed to an opiate naive person?
This is very true! I said this in another post, but I'm currently 7 months clean from fentanyl and heroin. If I was to use the same amount I was using 7 months ago I would be dead.

That's usually called accidental overdose. Meaning neither quantities were enough to OD from but the combination did it.
That's very tragic and sad. Sorry for your loss.
@@notsogreen people who do meth, speed and such dont really sleep as well and doing it for years, at some point The heart Will give out
I'm sorry for your loss. But if you don't mind me asking...how did the tramadol have fentanyl in it? Tramadol is a legal drug that falls under FDA guidelines. It shouldn't be possible to get tramadol with fentanyl in it. We're the pills maybe coated with fentanyl by a third party?
@@chewyjello1 tons of fake tramadol and benzos i Europe. Very rarely do pills come from pharmacy here. Most of the time they're from spain and real but sometimes they're fake and laced with fentanyl.
Edit: im from Sweden
He was saying "I can't breathe " before he was ever on the ground, could it have been the fentanyl? Would he have died without the fentanyl and a knee? I agree he should have not been put in that position at all or for that long.
@X-17 ꧁꧂ LMAO yes of course for his own protection i see
As others have said he had a panic attack, he had been shot by police before so the sight of armed officers approaching him startled him and caused him to suffer anxiety. If he was truly dying of a fentanyl overdose he would have had a hell of a time walking or talking or driving his vehicle.
He couldn't breathe at first because of anxiety. He couldn't breathe at all when an officer kneeled on his neck for nearly ten minutes. The autopsy report showed cause of death as asphixiation consistent with that of having one's neck kneeled on for an extended period of time and the idea that he was minutes away from death before it happened despite being fine and functional is the dumbest shit ever and only really something internet Nazis use to demonize a victim of police brutality.
@X-17 ꧁꧂ amazing how people complaining the police need to get the perps a cup of tea when they are huge guys on drugs resisting arrest and kicking and growling and won't comply?? they really expect cops to be sympathetic that he's scared 'cause he's been shot before? I couldn't even see him holding a knee on his neck- it was on his back and the guy was talking so he's not being choked from what I can see. there's a decent chance the guy swallowed a bag of meth when the cop tapped on the window and maybe that's part of why he was freaking out too and effected his heart? people criticising cops as if they should have to put up with threats? he may have already known the car rego owner was a dangerous criminal and the shop said they were intoxicated. The cops don't know what might happen in the blink of an eye and they are also there to protect the other public and each other. when the big bloke started to comply he put the gun away straight away and started trying to calm him down. asked him to 'take a seat'. I can't see how a black officer would have behaved any different. some of these people calling everyone racist over nothing could be extremist muslim or antifa trying to cause chaos to america.

It's intresting to me how Geroge was saying he could'nt breathe before he was put on the ground on the body cam footage. though I am not saying it's right to put anybody on the ground like that.
If he expressed he couldn’t breathe, an ambulance should have been called. Not a knee to the the trachea no matter what. Regardless of his tolerance, he would not have suffocated, but he did. By the relentless pressure to his body from another human despite his cries. Doesn’t matter if he was aspirating his own stomach contents or was in respiratory distress from pressure to his trachea, he deserved to simply breathe.

then again i'm not racists and i dont mean to justify the officer's actions they should definitely not subdue a man like that and systemic racism should be ended, just looking at it from a different perspective
The event that led immediately to Mr. Floyd being put on the ground by officers was their attempt to get Floyd into a police vehicle. Floyd said he couldn't get in the vehicle, that he could not breath, and then he collapsed by the vehicle. The police then forced him up and moved him to the section of street where he was famously put down and restrained. These details are overlooked in the conclusion that Floyd was in good condition prior having weight put on him. This is not to say officer conduct was not the legal cause of his death, but it is relevant to assessing how vulnerable he may have been to suffocation due to his toxicological state.
eh?
@@vicpariah3444Roughly, the fact that Floyd was complaining about his inability to breathe long before he was placed on the ground suggests that the drugs (or something else unrelated to the officer’s action) were a contributing cause of his death. This would not rule out their actions as the primary cause.
Yep, he was having breathing difficulties before he was on the floor which goes against everything Chubby Emu is saying. A very biased video.
@@PaulFeakinsIt doesn’t actually. It might alter things slightly but the conclusion is the same
@@notsocooldude7720 it absolutely effects the conclusion. If an officer does that same restraint technique to a criminal not suffering from the side-effect of their own substance abuse , no one dies.
What are your thoughts on the bodycam footage where Floyd says he can't breathe before the officers held him down?
Chubyemu is too much of a chicken**** to do that. He's good when it's a completely non-political , purely medical event, but this one he had to signal virtue on and will ignore the recent evidence tha Floyd was high as a satellite and probably died of a heart attack brought on by drug use. Let him prove me wrong.
The thing Dr. Bernard is guilty of here is reviewing the case prematurely without all of the evidence which is something Doctors are often forced to do by their patients. This is why the TV character House was regarded as a brilliant diagnostician because he could properly deduce the disorder with micro expressions and subtle hints, however House also has the advantage of continuing to diagnose the issue where Dr. Bernard could not after releasing this video prematurely. He's still a brilliant Doctor but this goes to show, medical professionals have no place in politics. Looking at you Faucci.
So no autopsy says heart attack but it was heart attack.
@@tarfielarchelone2674 cardiopulmonary arrest was the cause of death, the cause of the cardiopulmonary arrest is to be determined within the trial.

As an ex-heroin user I've had my share of Fentanyl. I've also known many other addicts and users, and I've seen my share of overdoses. No one overdoses an half an hour to hour after they've used the drug. Why?
Because at the point someone is using such hard drugs, they're injecting or smoking the drugs. That's the quickest way to get high.
So when overdoses happen, they occur moments after using. And in the case of intravenous use, overdoses occur immediately. Not am hour after use.
Obviously that's not good enough for a court room, but for anyone who's ever been through that kind of addiction, it's common knowledge from personal experience.
@Smooth Cream Please. He took more drugs? Anything you can invent to slander a black man's death. It's pathetic.

@Smooth Cream geez. What kind of person has that little respect for the dead
tbh if you get a medical expert to vouch for this, it probably is good enough for a court room
Unless he was using multiple patches??
@Smooth Cream Ok wow, there's a lot to unpack here. Idk to which friends you are referring to I guess "The commies?" I haven't even expressed my opinions to you so I guess you are just making generalizations about all communists. Communism is not deadly inherently it is just the way that it is usually put into practice that is unfavorable. Communism is about eliminating the wealth gap which I think the majority of intellectual individuals would agree is a good thing. I changed my UA-cam name to Communist Cuber originally for the meme and the cuber part is because I solve Rubik's Cubes. I was somewhat in the same boat you are now knowing virtually nothing about true communism (albeit I at least had some level of intellect higher than that of a rat and of course I wasn't a raging racist) just thinking communism bad and capitalism good because there haven't been that many communism success stories while virtually the entire rest of the world was capitalist and was doing great. Earlier this year my sister started to talk about defunding the police, eating the rich, and some other very left-wing views. I thought to myself; what a libtard right? The police protect us and we need them to keep America safe right? Well, it is a completely different story for black people. Now I won't waste your time with some long testimonial about racism in America as I'm sure you have heard a few before and likely dismissed them as black people overstating what happened or just the black person being completely at fault or some BS like that but I would encourage you to take a closer look. While I do believe that Lenin, Mao, and even Karl were racist to varying degrees, I also believe that you can pick apart a person and take the good parts, and appreciate them and take the bad parts and admit that they are not perfect. Like take for example George Floyd here. He had a pretty evident criminal past where he supposedly held a pregnant woman at gunpoint but he had been rehabilitated fully by the time of his passing. He was loved by everyone in his community and was generally considered to be a great guy. Now you can debate me all day about his "sketchy cause of death" but that's not what I'm here to talk about. Back to communism. Karl Marx wrote some great work about communism that I support. I do not, however, condone his racism. It's kind of like how I love some of Hitler's artwork but I still can think that what he did was utterly despicable. While I am a fan of communism in theory, I believe that humans are inherently bad and so it would take a lot to get it to work in practice. I am however a fan of Market Socialism. Sorry that was so long and I hope you made it to the end. If you did and you would like to leave a reply please make sure to avoid the logical fallacies, ad hominem attacks, and complete generalizations that you so confidently used in your last reply. Have a good day. ;)

Here is a tip STOP FUCKING RESISTING ARREST and fight back IN COURT because thats what court is for. There is absolutely 0 doubt whatsoever that he would still be alive had he been a fucking man and not a little bitch. If he were my brother or father I would be upset he was dead BUT the cops wouldnt get a single bit of blame from me because THIS WAS 99.99% his own doing. Hate what I say all you want at the end of the day what I said is 100% fact and there is absofuckinglutely 0 possible rebuttal to my statement....well unless youre some idiot liberal/democrat which just enjoys shit like this and in that case I hope you get yours too.

British King George V died from a speedball. His physician later admitted that the King was dying and had laboured breathing and he decided to “help him along” with morphia and cocaine” in order to ease his suffering and to ensure his death could be announced in the morning papers rather than the less-prestigious evening editions had he held on into the next day. The same physician later, in his role in the House of Lords spoke and voted against legislation to allow assisted dying.

As a stem cell researcher, I have seen that there unfortunately is a lack of diversity in scientific studies, including human genomic databases. Most genetic studies have been done on people with European ancestry. This is quite bad if, for example, we try to find out how patients will respond to certain drugs. Warfarin is a widely used blood thinner and doctors use variants in three genes to predict the response of patients. However, this only works for people of European descent and, therefore, other people of other ethnicities experience adverse effects with higher proportions. I want to make a video about that myself soon to spread awareness!
But i thought race is a social construct...

More knowledge about the diversity of gene variation and how that can impact the type of medication a person can receive will be helpful when used wisely.
He was saying he couldn't breathe before he was put on the ground and the video shows it?
Yeah and the pigs should’ve gotten him to a hospital. Instead, they kneeled on his neck and allowed him to suffocate. When in police custody, you are police’s responsibility. All cops carry Narcan. They should’ve used it.
So basically It was the strangulation that killed him and the drugs in his body increased the risk that this would be fatal
Increased the risk- but likely didn't play a large role. He is responsive, alert, and conscious before the video, so a drug overdose or any other drug-related causes of death can be ruled out. If the drugs did play a role, it'd likely be small. Even the heart disease wouldn't have played too big of a role- complications happen over years, not minutes. If he wasn't having trouble before, there's no reason to believe his condition increased the risk of this interaction being fatal. Had he been able to continue home, he would have lived.
One thing that wasn't noted in this video was also that the officer stayed on his neck even after he stopped responding. It's obvious that his airflow was limited. The second autopsy report states that the specific cause of death is asphyxia- Defined by the Marriam-Webster dictionary as "A lack of oxygen or excess of carbon dioxide in the body that is usually caused by interruption of breathing and that causes unconsciousness." Medically, it only takes around 5-7 minutes for an individual to die from asphyxia. Him being unresponsive "for several minutes" (keep in mind, the officer still has his knee against his neck) lines up nicely with the amount of time it takes for an individual to lose consciousness due to asphyxia. Some news sources also state that the person who did one of the autopsies said that he was dead before the ambulance arrived, though I'm unsure if that's sensationalized.
Another thing that wasn't explicitly stated (or if it was, I didn't hear it) was that Floyd wasn't responsive in that hour-long stay in the ER. CPR was done the entire time. If they stopped sooner, then he would have been declared dead sooner.
So yes, you're right. But it's very important to note that drugs didn't play nearly as much of a role as being cut off from oxygen for 8 minutes. The asphyxiation is what killed him, and he likely would have died even without the drugs in his system.
Lauren great response!!!!!!
@@someoneidk308 you do realize that he could have been having some difficulty breathing and still be all there right.
The drug is known for making it more difficult for you to breathe and potentially fatally stopping lung function, what I am saying is that the drugs in his system made him more susceptible to dying due to this stimulus than if he was clean.
Also I should say he is not having oxygen completely cut off, he can still talk and plead with the officers, so the combination of increased resistance to breathing due to the weight put on him, and the agitated state, could have triggered a more deadly response to the drugs in his system than if he would have been left alone.
The drugs weren't the cause of death, but they did have an effect on the pulmonary arrest that isn't insignificant.
Doesn't absolve the officers, just anti drug use
@@someoneidk308 How about adrenaline? All your smorts, all your patting yourself on the back for knowing and agreeing with everything the video creator said, while even the supposed doctor himself is just quietly glossing over the most natural of all stimulants, which could have had a HUUUGE impact on the whole situation!

@@boomboomskidskid There's unmistakable video evidence of the suspect, during police questioning, deftly removing a bag of white powder from his pants pocket -- and dropping it to the ground. Having been previously arrested in 2019 (also in relation to an OD), the suspect very clearly didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. So, understandably he was actively hiding evidence of illegal drug possession. You also don't need a medical degree to understand why, as the cops were coming to check on him, he'd swallow some of his supply. Obviously the cops were onto this too, when they questioned him about why he was foaming at the mouth, and he admitted to it. Evidently, "medical training" doesn't have much nor really anything to do with actual facts of the matter which clearly tell the whole story. The suspect died from complications relating to a drug overdose.
just checking this, why he didn't add raising heart rate that cause by anxious.? look i have been an addict before, and i can tell you the fear because you positively being used drug while arrested by cop will make your body like being time bomb. your heart rate is so fast, not mention other hormone or anything else in your body.
The fact that he was awake and responsive to verbal command negated the possibility of fentanyl induced apnea or wooden chest sd(WCS) Though not entirely clear what the MOA is for WCS, its usually related to potent opioid use at high dose bolus, ie during IV administration in surgery. Even that is rare. George Floyd was ok for the majority of the 8m46s when he was yelling “I can’t breathe”. It was not until the cop repositioned and occluded the carotid that killed George Floyd.
PS: the knee should have never been on the neck of anyone you are not trying to kill/ suffocate.
That was said in the video. What is you point?
No arteries on back of neck
This is exactly what Bernard said
D d that is not what Bernard said in the video... if you don’t notice the difference, you need to know a bit more about medicine.
Justin batchelar I meant kneeling on the side of the neck where the carotid artery is. That is what the officer did, intentionally or out of ignorance of the consequence. He clearly lacks the vigilance/ knowledge to check on the status of George Floyd/ his knee position. That is what’s wrong with his action, not all neck compression is equivalent. I guess I should have been more specific.
If he is a regular user, his opiate tolerance would be such that a barely noticeable amount to him, could easily be fatal to a non-user.
Or fatal to a horse.
Users develop a tolerance for the drug, it is one of the things that makes withdrawal so difficult. Initially a user achieves a 'high' experience because the addition of an opiate to the body on top of the natural occurring, already in the body. As the user continues to use they find they are required to steadily increase their dosage to achieve the same effect over time (in some long time heroin users they have long since stopped being able to achieve a 'high' (appearing sober and unintoxicated) and only continue to use to deal with withdrawal symptoms). This 'tolerance' happens because of a process in the body called homeostasis (the body always wants to maintain a balance - it is the thing that tells you to drink water, or stop relative to your specific level of hydration for example - there are many of these balances in the human body). Once the user has used long enough the body stops producing any of the natural opiates it once did and at this point a person could easily be taking dosages large enough to have been fatal to them when they first started to use. So a toxicology report may indicate excess, but without a historical reference or perspective it can be misleading or distorting.

When people can’t differentiate between mean, median or mode we know that the school system has failed us 🥺
To be honest, almost 5 years after high school and I've totally forgot what mode is. Had to look it up
There is so much more than that that tells me the school system is failing us.
America bad
Generally almost every Chubbyemu video has prime examples of it. Either schools have failed us or people are just getting stupider. A century or so ago if you were that kind of stupid nature had its ways of ensuring your idiot genes weren't passed on.
Defund the school system
Welp he won't hold a pregnant woman up with a gun anymore
